Dragon Blaster Skeletor Dragon Head. Do you like it?

Do you like this Head for Dragon blaster Skeletor's dragon's head??Crap.jpg
Many people on the reveal thread are saying they don't. Here's my post from there with my thoughts....

The best iteration of him was the cardback art..Attachment 76496
Looked like the toy, but more realistic and less cartoony. Now we have this one,Attachment 76499
that is more cartoony and doesn't look like the toy. This one also looks better,Attachment 76497
as does this one.Attachment 76498
and they both still look like the toy.

But the real reason it looks goofy, is because it does look unrealistic. Not because it is a dragon, but because there is no way the dragon could open or close his mouth with all of those teeth, especially the ones in the back, as they are too close together, and the ones in the back are the worst part of the problem,as eluded to by this post..

That is why I will be getting a hold of another original head and modding it like this.Attachment 76500

It may be goofy, but at least it looks like the original, and is not biologically and mechanically impossible. Besides that, I don't think the MOTUC one looks that great even as a surreal art piece. If the horsemen did sculpt this, it is one of the few times I have been let down. I liked Leech's head, It was just too big for the regular buck. Clawfull's head at least looked vintage. I don't understand this one at all.

I LOVE the dragon head. Can't expect a Draego man clone. On the flip side TG said the head will fit on other bucks so those that don't like it could probably swap it. --Edit-- I think I confused a different poster for TG, so maybe it's not, but I'm sure you brilliant customizers will find away.

But I do hope the chest and abs are skin tone, not painted or molded magenta, I want to see this as a Vintage accurate Skeletor buck.

I agree. It seems to me(since I don't like the head) the coolest part of this release is a new skeletor buck. I wish he had new feet to match the shins. Those duck feet only match the 8-back card back, nothing else.

I believe its design could have been much better, making it a modern version of the vintage action figure (as it should be) "classicized" with an open, even semi opened mouth..giving him the proper look of its own name DRAGON BLASTER, not much blasting to be done with all those teeth He still looks good, just not WOW, Great for me.

I think for me, I love it because it's so cartoon-like. It's got a menacing toothy smile that just makes him look that much more evil to me. It gives the dragon a personality, which the vintage one didn't really have to me. Don't get me wrong, the vintage DB was my favorite, but the dragon was just a cool back pack that shot water to me as a kid. This looks more like an evil living creature that has a story of his own. It could have looked a little more like the mini comic of even the Filmation dragons, sure. But to me he's awesome just the way he is.

I have to agree with what darkmoon wrote. I dont understand why the sculptor didnt use some vintage art as outline.Maybe im so dissapointed cause that was my very first MotU figure and i had high expactations.Normally i love what what the horsemen are doing.

I'm still excited to be adding him to my collection; I just wish the 4H had been a little more inspired by the original "cardback" art on this one. I loved his classic Chinese Water Dragon look and was really hoping to see it in MOTUC.

My first impression was I didn't like it, but its grown on me a little already though I still would have preferred a head closer to the mini-comic (so I just hope TIN makes one ) its mainly just the teeth I'm not keen on, but its better then the original and better the Leech's head IMO.

Hey, I may not get my Filmation Skeletor, *REMOVED*, Filmation Evil-Lyn or Filmation Sorceress 2.0............ BUT, Some Day.......... Somehow...... Mattel will give me the another variants of these same characters ! However, there is very little chance for your Kayo, or Kitrina or Vultak or any of your desired characters if you fail to support the 2.0's & variants in 2016.... or in the future !
